Confusion has seized us, and all things go wrong, The women have leaped from their spheres, And, instead of fixed stars, shoot as comets along, And are setting the world by the ears!
-Maria Weston Chapman, The Times That Try Men's Souls, in History of Woman Suffrage, by Elizabeth Cady Stanton,1881.
Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.
